Over the coming weeks, it will become apparent that the Albany club are erecting scaffolding at the front of the property at 10 Earlsdon Street.

Due to the age of the building, it has become apparent to the committee that some of masonry on the front of the club is starting to show signs of wear that will need addressing before they become an issue and potential hazard. As such, the club in accordance with its responsibilities to its members, club users and the local residents of the Earlsdon area, we are forging forward with the necessary repair works.

The club fully realise the concerns people may have around the nature of works, and therefore wishes to reassure all those interested that this work is purely to restore the frontage to its former glory and ensure that we don’t have any lose masonry which could eventually become unsightly and a potential future Health & Safety issue.

In addition to the above, we might just give the frontage a coat of paint or two to preserve the club’s local heritage status and reputation.

We’re happy to announce that Sunday dinners will continue through the coming summer without the break we had last year. Hot batches such as pork and stuffing also available on Sundays alongside the Sunday dinners. Sammy has announced new plans for barbecues, Cold Batches and hot food (burgers, hot dogs, gourmet burgers and fries). These will be regularly available in the afternoons to keep all our sports fans stocked up during the new football season and more.

Existing members must renew their membership every year in order to receive benefits like discounted drinks and free entry to the club for sport on TV and live music shows. Members missing the February 1st deadline can expect a £5 late renewal fee on top of the usual fee. If you have missed the deadline, you may see the Secretary during his office hours. Neither Committee Members or Barstaff can help with this!

Ballroom and Latin classes every Wednesday evening in the upstairs function room. £6 per person. No partner required.

If you struggle to understand your quickstep from your cha cha, or your waltz from your jive, classes have arrived at the Albany Social Club guaranteed to turn you from a left footer into a strictly genius!

The lessons are designed for people who want to have fun and learn steps for a special occasion or social get together.

During the month of March 2017, we will be tendering the contract to provide catering at the club.

Following a major upper room refurbishment during the summer we hope to raise our game – and then some – offering our members and guests high quality catering at the right price in comfortable surroundings.

As you know, several members have long been unhappy and frustrated with the antique system of renewing membership by having to form long queues outside the front office between set times convenient to the club’s officers but not necessarily to members themselves.

Surely, the club needs to enter the 20th, never mind the 21st century, by arranging membership renewals online. It does not take a genius to set up a system which allows members to renew at a time of their convenience at their own PCs , tablets or phones. All they need to do is set up a password-protected account which allows a direct bank transfer from their account into yours. The membership is then confirmed electronically and stored in the system without the need for the hard copy booklet signed in pen and ink.

This may not suit everybody in the short term so the present manual system may need to be extended alongside the new electronic one. I also realise it is too late to introduce for this year so that gives ample time for a new system to be in place for 2018.
